| No risk, no reward. It’s a very true saying. I truly believe in it. When you think about business, if you don’t take any risks, how are you going to get ahead? How are you going to leapfrog ahead? If you think that success in life and in career is all about luck, think again! Shallow people believe in luck whereas wise people in cause and effect. No wonder, Virgil, the greatest of the Roman Poets, wrote 2,000 years ago, Fortune sides with him who dares. In short, good fortune does not come to us; we go to it by taking risks. Would Columbus have found the new world had he not dared where no one had gone before? Everything we are as a people was created by others before us who risked it all. Perhaps the greatest risk in life is not taking any risk. By not taking risks we don’t grow. Our reluctance to take risks prevents us from living a quality life. A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for! For some, taking risks involves the possibility of losing money, If so, let us ask ourselves before taking every risk, what is the worst thing that could happen? If we balance that with the best thing that could happen, isn’t the best possible outcome of our risk-taking always worth? Therefore, dare yourself to risk, for your life is worth it. For me, Risk leads to Reward. Take a stand to do what you believe, and then stick to the game plan! |
